As soon as she had finished fixing her hair, Sabrina hurried down the stairs. She had missed breakfast but it wasn't really of any consequence – she wouldn't have eaten anyway. She would rather go hungry all morning than eat any of Granny's strangely colored foods.

"Daphne, Puck, time to leave," She called as she pulled on her shoes. She didn't need to call Red, as the shy girl was already there beside her. Sabrina shot the younger girl (at least physically) a smile. She'd had a hard time trusting the quiet Everafter at first but they'd bonded after a while. It helped that Red didn't like Granny's food either.

Just a few seconds later, Puck and Daphne bounded into the entry room, apparently racing. Since Puck was not only older and taller but also had wings, he beat her easily.

"We're coming Grimm, be patient." Puck smirked at her and she glared at him, even as her heart fluttered against her will. She would not like him, she forbade herself from it. She would not turn into one of those girls at school who was obsessed with boys.

Once the four of them got out the door, the walk to school was uneventful. Daphne chattered to Red about who knows what and Sabrina and Puck were both annoyed about how this morning had gone. After dropping the younger girls off at the Middle School, Puck and Sabrina walked quietly over to the High School. Sabrina was glad for the silence because it gave her time to think. And thank goodness, the thoughts were not about Puck.

She was actually thinking about Bella. Even though she had once betrayed Sabrina, Bella had apologized and they were friends again. Bella was a good friend, if a bit boy-crazy. And she had been talking nonstop about the dance coming up. Bella hadn't said anything out loud but Sabrina knew her friend really wanted Wendell, the Pied Piper's son, to ask her to go. Ever since she had apologized to Sabrina and the two had started hanging out again, Sabrina had noticed Bella subtly starting at him.

Sabrina knew Bella would be over the moon if Wendell asked her to the dance and it might even stop her from bugging Sabrina about who she wanted to go with. Then again, it might not. Sabrina had refused to tell her anything, claiming that she wasn't interested in all the random boys from school. Which was technically true; Puck could hardly be considered a random boy. But that brought up the issue, did she really want Puck to ask her to the dance?

Sabrina cut that thought off right there and was thankful to see the front steps of the school only a few feet away. She and Puck nodded at each other at the top and separated, each heading off to find their own friends. They had a pact of sorts that neither would acknowledge each other at school unless they had to; they didn't need everyone knowing (well, all the humans, who didn't already know) that they lived in the same house.

Sabrina had hardly gotten a glimpse of her friend when the frog girl crashed into her in a giant hug. Sabrina hugged back and was slightly overwhelmed when Bella started to talk. She had a very exuberant voice and once she had gotten started, she could talk forever.

"Guess what just happened! Guess what just happened! Just before you go here, Wendell asked me to the dance. He said that even though it's a couple weeks away, he wanted to make sure he got the prettiest girl in school. Isn't that so sweet?"

At this point, Sabrina pretty much zoned Bella out. She was glad her friend was happy but really, Sabrina had gotten the point, did Bella really need to continue? This didn't seem to bug Bella though, because she kept talking as the two girls walked to their lockers and then to their first class.

Most of Sabrina's day was pretty boring, it was only lunch that was out of the ordinary. There, she met up with Bella, Megan – Tinkerbelle's daughter, Amelia – Aladdin and Jasmine's daughter, and Fern – a younger Everafter from the story Charlotte's Web. The five girls had met at the beginning of High School and had become close friends almost immediately.

"Did you guys hear? Wendell asked me to do to the dance with him!" As soon as all the girls were seated at their lunch table, Bella began talking again.

Megan and Amelia grinned at Bella, they were both also very excited about the upcoming dance – much more so than Fern. Fern loved animals and the outdoors so she didn't really care one way or another about the dance other than that her friends were excited and she was happy for them.

Sabrina and Fern listened while the other three talked excitedly about the dance. Sabrina was starting to get bored and look around when she noticed Puck hurrying towards her. His face looked relaxed but – having known him for so long – she could see worry in his eyes.

"Grimm, can you come with me for a minute. It's important." He looked at her urgently and she knew it must be important if Puck was asking to talk to her, especially alone. They both knew that people would gossip. They weren't supposed to get along, what were they doing talking together like friends? They actually were friends, of a sort, but no one at school needed to know that.

"Sure Robin, I'm coming." Robin was the name Puck used at school where there were non-Everafter children as well as magical ones. Sabrina grabbed her bag and followed Puck out of the cafeteria.

Once they were alone, Puck stopped. They both glanced around and then he began to talk.

"Okay Grimm, for starters, why couldn't the Old Lady get a hold of you? She had to call me."

Sabrina thought about it, her phone must have been dead. She rarely used it – it was just a precaution – so she often forgot to charge it. (A/N. I always do this, it drives my parents crazy) She told Puck as much and he shook his head at her.

"Next time, make sure your phone is charged. They don't do any good if they're dead."

Sabrina was majorly confused, who was he to be lecturing her about responsibility? She was generally way more responsible than him.

But as he continued talking, she understood his worry. "The Old Lady just called me. After complaining that she couldn't get ahold of you, she told me that something serious is happening. She didn't tell me what over the phone but I go the sense that it was pretty bad."

Sabrina grew worried as well. If Granny had bothered to call them at school, whatever was going on must be serious. Granny tried to leave them to live their own lives at school; no being a fairytale detectives or faery princes.

"I'll make sure to charge my phone when I get home. But if she didn't tell you what's wrong, there's not much we can do. Meet me out in front of the High School as soon as school lets out, no dawdling. We'll grab Daphne and Red and hurry home."

With that, Sabrina turned and headed back to the cafeteria, her mind stuck on the fact that something serious was wrong at home.

Nothing had really happened since the defeat of the Scarlet Hand. Sure, they'd had a few rogue Everafters and small mishaps but nothing to the scale where Granny would've called them at school. She considered it of the utmost importance for all of them to get a good education. After all, it's what the girls' parents would've wanted.

Sabrina shook her head, hard. That rabbit trail was even worse to go down than the one about Puck. It had been years, they weren't waking up.

With a final, emphatic, shake of her head, Sabrina sat back down with her friends, who had gone back to discussing the dance. Bella, Megan, and Amelia were debating the merits of different types of dresses – long vs short, silk vs velvet, etc. – but they immediately went silent and looked at Sabrina as soon as soon as she was seated.

"What?" Sabrina asked as she started eating again. She knew exactly what they were asking but she wasn't exactly sure what to say.

"What did Puck – sorry, Robin – want?" Since all four girls knew Puck's real name, they occasionally slipped up with what to call him. "Did he finally ask you to the dance?"

"WHAT!?" Sabrina's eyes nearly bugged out of her head, "NO! Where would you get that idea?"

Bella smirked at her best friend, "The fact that both of you are totally in love with each other." She laughed at Sabrina's glare, "Alright. If he wasn't asking you out than what was he doing?"

Sabrina looked around and when she was satisfied that no one was close enough to overhear, she lowered her voice.

"Granny wasn't able to get a hold of me cause my cell was dead so she called Puck. Apparently, something serious is going on. Granny didn't tell Puck what it was but if she called us at school, it's got to be bad."

This sobered all the girls up and it was a minute before any of them spoke up again.

"There's really no use stressing about it all day." Fern put her hand on Sabrina's shoulder, "After school will be plenty of time to worry. And whatever's going on, you can always tell us and we'll do our best to help you."

The other three girls voiced their agreement and Sabrina smiled gratefully at them, "Thanks. I love you guys!"

With that, the subject was dropped and everyone went back to their previous discussions. Sabrina knew she'd have to deal with whatever was going on eventually but Fern was right, later would be plenty enough time for that.
